From Garrison Keillor:

“A Christmas Blizzard is a story about a rich man who dreads the holiday with its poignant memories of a stringent childhood and who longs to spend December at his estate in Hawaii. But his adored wife is ill and so their departure is delayed, when a phone call from cousin Liz in his hometown of Looseleaf, N.D. — his uncle Earl is dying — brings the rich man out of the doldrums and back to the scene of his childhood where his private jet is socked in by a humongous blizzard. There is a ghost, a wise man of San Francisco, a genial uncle, an undercover FBI agent, a steamy sauna scene, and the singing of Christmas carols. And several feet of snow. ”
